Since this is a parody of Lion King 2, I'll layout the character's roles in this chapter:
Lucy: Kiara, Midnight: Kovu, Jellal: Simba, Erza: Nala, Timon and Pumba: Natsu and Gray, Ultear: Zira, Brain/Zero: Scar
Keep in mind that the characters in this chapter is still young. Erza and Lucy are sisters too.
One day 10 year old Lucy was playing around the field behind Fairy Tail. She hummed a tune, picked some flowers and then chased a butterfly. Then she tripped at one point but she didn't cry, instead she was laughing with joy. Then someone hovered over her.
"Need a hand?" he said. Lucy took it as her older sister's fiancé, Jellal picked her up.
"Ni-san! Put me down!" she giggled as she tried to struggle free. Jellal chuckled and let her down gently.
"I just want you to be careful" he said. Lucy ignored him when she saw another butterfly. She tried to chase it but Jellal caught hold of her hand.
"Lucy, are you listening? Accidents can happen. You could easily get hurt or—
"Or stepped on, or even get lost" Lucy interrupted. Jellal would warn her so many times that Lucy was able to memorize it.
"And remember, I want you to stay in sight of Fairy Tail at—
"At all times I know" Lucy interrupted as he let go of her hand. "And if you see any strangers don't talk to them, come straight home. Okay, I get it can I go now? Pleeease?" she begged.
Jellal chuckled as Erza and Happy enters. "Mind Jellal, Lucy"
"*giggles* Yes ne-san" Lucy said.
"And stay away from the dark guilds" Jellal ordered.
"Aye! There are some bad mages there" Happy added.
"Happy's right, you can't turn your back on them"
Lucy pulled out a curious face "Really? How come?"
"Never mind, just run along"
"But ni-san…"
"You'll understand someday now go on"
"Ni-san…" Lucy whined as Jellal chuckles while messing her hair.
Lucy giggled and skipped to the streets. Erza smiled and walked back to the guild leaving Jellal watching Lucy disappearing from sight.
"Hey, Natsu, Gray" Jellal called at young Natsu and Gray.
"What's up?" Natsu asked with Gray following him.
"I want you to look after Lucy, she's bound to get lost" he ordered.
"Don't worry Jellal! Were stick to her like the stink on Gray's clothes"
"Hey, it's not like you smell any better!"
"It's not my fault you stink out loud"
"Guy's am counting on you! Danger could be lurking behind every building" he said.
They both nodded and ran out the guild.
Meanwhile…
Lucy was balancing on the edge of the river. "Be careful little girl!" the sailors shouted.
"I will mister!" she replied. She hopped off the stone boundary and ran through streets, giggling and laughing with her arms spread apart. She ran to the stone bridge with a sight of southern part of Magnolia.
"Wow...cool, I wonder what's out there" she said while sitting on the edge of the bridge, staring off through the distance of the river.
Lucy didn't notice someone stalking her. The sounds of footsteps were creeping behind her. Then when the footsteps were loud enough she turned around only to see Gray and Natsu behind her.
Lucy screamed which caused them to scream too. She was so surprised that she fell on the river. "D-Don't worry Lucy, I'll save you!" Gray yelled as he jumped into the river in his boxers.
Lucy rose from the water with her arm wrapped around Gray's neck. Luckily there were some stone stairs by the riverbank which Gray climbed with Lucy slacking on his back.
"Lucy, as part of Fairy Tail, you know better to go on alone, you could have been hurt" Gray warned. Lucy got off Gray with her clothes soaking wet.
"Yeah! Erza would kill us! You didn't break a bone did you?" Natsu asked while examining her arm.
"Bu-But—
"Catch a cold? Get a hangnail?" Lucy pulled her arm away in annoyance.
"Natsu…" she whined as Gray shaded her with a big leaf.
"Lucy, with your complexion you should stay out of the sun" he said. Lucy swatted the leaf away.
"What? Do you want a burn?" Gray asked.
"Could you guys just listen to me?"
"I'm sorry I wasn't listening, did you say something princess?" Natsu asked lazily.
"I'm not a princess you know. That's not even who I am"
"Then who are you?" Gray asked.
"Well…I..um…" Lucy trailed off.
"Well, while your figuring it out, lets hang out" Natsu said while dragging Lucy with him.
"Woah…woah. After what happened just know, we better go home" Gray suggested.
"And what? Explain to Erza on how she got wet?" he said sarcastically as Lucy slid away from his grip.
"I say we go home" Gray commanded.
"You're not the boss of me Ice brain!"
"Flame head!"
Natsu and Gray started fighting again which gave Lucy the opportunity to venture off again. She ran through the streets, unaware of the boy standing in front of her whom she eventually, trips over. When Lucy lifted her head, she saw a boy with dark spiky hair and crimson eyes. The boy got up and glared at the girl.
"Who are you?" he asked suspiciously.
Lucy stood up and glared back "My ni-san said to never to talk strangers"
"So you always do what your brother says?" he taunted.
"No!"
"Bet you do!" he chuckled as Lucy frowned from his accuracy. "A dark mage doesn't need anybody, I take care of myself" he said arrogantly.
"Really?" she said in awe. The boy's smirk disappeared as a figure of a man hovered over them with a sack over Lucy's head.
"Run!" he dragged Lucy away from the man. The man missed his aim and started running after them.
"This way!" Lucy ran to a dark alley. They knocked down crates and barrels, creating obstacles for the man which unexpectedly, worked. They stopped at the right side of the building, trying to catch their breath.
"Whew! That was close!" the boy panted.
Lucy giggled "Yeah—
Just then, a shadow hand hovered above her. The boy quickly pushed her behind him, blocking the hand from catching her.
"Go! I'll distract 'em" he shouted.
Lucy nodded and ran away. The hand moved aside, chasing after Lucy. The boy swatted his arm in front of him, releasing shards of red light at the hand, making it vanish. The boy ran after Lucy, they ran pass obstacles, crossed through every alley, finally stopping from a few blocks from the guild. They had their hands pressing down their knees, breathless.
"We lost him" the boy said.
When Lucy regained oxygen, she started ranting about their chase, the boy done nothing but stare and listen to her in amusement. Then a female figure watched from a corner. Lucy finally concluded "And you were really brave" she complimented.
"Yeah, you were pretty brave too, my name's Midnight"
"I'm Lucy" she said dreamily as she walked near him. Midnight widened his eyes. "Tag! Your it!" she shouted.
Instead of chasing, Midnight just stares at her silently. She tries again "Tag! Your It! Your it!" she chuckled yet still no reaction, he just stares at her.
"Hello? You run, I tag. Get it?" Midnight raised an eyebrow "What's the matter don't you know how to—oh"
Lucy got the idea, she pushed him down gently. She laughed and ran around him. Midnight got the idea and position to start chasing but then he found Jellal staring at him angrily. Then Ultear steps in.
"Ultear" Jellal muttered.
"Jellal" Ultear said.
Erza, Natsu and Gray arrived behind Jellal with the other members of Fairy Tail. Lucy hid behind Jellal, the same with Midnight who was frightened.
"Erza"
"Ultear"
"Natsu, Gray. Great, now that we all know each other, GET OUT OF OUR TOWN!" Natsu shouted.
"Your town! This land belongs to Zero" Ultear retorted.
"The council expelled you from Magnolia, you and the kid. Get out" Jellal demanded.
"Oh, have you met Oracion Seis' Midnight? Zero chose him to lead the guild and rule this land" Ultear explained conceitedly. Jellal glared at Midnight which made him tremble.
"Pfft… Are you kidding? That's a cowardly maraca" Natsu laughed.
"Midnight is the youngest before they exiled us from Magnolia, where we have little food, less water..." Ultear trailed off.
"You know the penalty for returning to Magnolia" Jellal reminded.
"But the child does not! However, if you need your prisoner, here" Ultear push fort Midnight.
Jellal looked down at the trembling child. "Take him and go. Were finished here" Jellal turned his back away from Ultear, picking up Lucy with the others returning to the guild.
"Oh, no Jellal. We only just begun" Ultear grabbed Midnight's arm, dragging him away from the guild.
Lucy turned to Midnight whispering "Bye"
Midnight heard her and replied "Bye"
